ALEX + ADA by Jonathan Luna

[Jackhartmann]

I just re read all three issues. I got so much more out of it. Alex's mundane life is perfectly explained with the non-wordiness of the story. It was heart break, then work. Alex is machine-like, he is a clock that "ticks" to work and "tocks" to home. Any element of humanity, he seems to ignore and machine on. He had very little chance to mourn after his heart break. There is a lack of human emotions that usually accompanies a heart break. Then, an android, which is not a human, begins to pique Alex's curiosity and the philosophical musings begin. The beauty of the paradoxical story is that the questioning of what is the difference between existing and living is sparked by a non-living entity. The overhanging situational irony is beautiful. Then, the last page of issue 3 is a beautiful full page wide open shot. A symbolic page for the opening of the mind and the beginning of his quest, a hint of Prometheus. I am along for the ride here. There is truly more than meets the eye here.

I'll be surprised if the book gets hot. For some reason, the Luna Brothers put out great stuff but it never seems to get mainstream like other books.

I'm going to try it out basd on the recommendations I've received from boardies. You're right, most of the Luna's stuff has been good/great but not everything has to go up to make it worth reading or I would've dropped Jupiter's Legacy by now.

I am still reading Jupiter's Legacy. I read, Ultra, Girls, and Sword, those were some great books that reminds me of what I love about comics.

Actually I love the slow pace this book is taking. Like a good futuristic/techno/sexual movie. The plot is there but the intensity is slow to build.

I dropped this after issue #1 to read the rest digitally. Primarily, because it's just a maxi series. But, this is WAY better than the previous Luna brothers outing Whispers.

 

[BedlamBabe913]

I'm not familiar with Whispers but I really enjoyed their Girls series.

#3 was another great issue. Really looking forward to seeing what happens in #4 after that finale.

Not to be too shallow, but I picked the first one up because I liked the cover, and the subsequent issues are just as good. Same reason I started with Rachel Rising.

I completely love this book, and was blown away by how good the most recent issue was (can't remember if it was 3 or 4)
